SUBSCRIPTIONS:
Payable Invariably IN AdUance
A Cargo of Pepper.

On the National line dock the other
day there was a mountain of snuff colored
bags Just out of the ship. When the
stevedOres hauled them about everybOdy's
nose was ticlzled. THAT'S nothing but
pepper, all the way from Singapore via
London, said the superintendent.
''HOw much is there of it?' he was
asked.
mot great deal; 300 or 400 TONS
was the answer.
A muscular 'longshoreman at hand
said: ''Sure we dhrink it. The bar
keepers know we like a dab of it on the
head of the GROWER. "
Just then a clerk came along and began
making complaint of the way the men
were tearing the bags with their hooks.
He pointed to trail of the spice along
the dock and said that his house would
make the ship pay for tb2 loss in weight.
The superintendent ordered the men to
sew up all leaky bags, and the merchant
apprentice smiled in satisfaction. In re-
Spouse to questions he replied: Last De-
cember pepper was booming. Every
body thought there was going to be a
scarcity of it, and they all wanted to buy,
and they did buy. This is that same pep
per just coming in. 1t is worth about a
CenC a pOunu less To-Day imam Cn0y pdIu
for it. l think the most of it cost the
buyers something like sixteen cents a
pound. A good many of them are stuck.
Pepper is apt to weigh less when it ar
rives than what you find charged for in
your invoices. Some of it will leak out
of tears in the bags; some of it will be
sampled when nobody is looking; but
the great loss in weight is believed to re-
suit from the fact that it dries out. The
native chaps that grow the berry ship it
down all sorts of little streams in all sorts
of junks, and it catches good deal Of salt
water by the time it is shipped from Singa-
pore. Water doesn't hurt whole pepper
in the least unless it is kept wet too long
and allowed to rot, but it adds to its
avoirdupois. When you reflect that
6O,000,00O of us are shaking it three
times day on almost everything we eat,
is it any wonder we get away with SO
much pepper? Much of it suppose is COB
bled up by those concerns that make salads
and sauces and pickles and catsups. -

Various Ways of Making Change.

Some one has taken the time and
trouble to figure out the various combina-
tons of coins that might be used in
changing a quarter, and places them at
215. The pieces used in making the
changes are the 20 cent piece, 10 cent
piece, cent piece, cent piece, 2 cent
piece, and / cent piece. To be able to
make all the changes would require one
90 cent piece, two 10 cent pieces, five 5
cent pieces, eight 3 cent pieces, twelve 2
cent pieces, and twenty-five cent pieces,
making in all fifty-three pieces of money,
representing $1.38. -New York Sun.

HUGH PRICE IN WASHINGTON.

New York Suns Washington Special: Hugh
Price. the son of the late Congressman Price
OF Wisconsin, reached Washington just in
time to take his seat and listen to spirited
debate this afternoon on q subject dear to his
fathers tongue, namely, reform and re-
trenchment in congressional funerals Sad
as the associations must have been to sit at
his fathers desk and hear such debate he
could not resist smiling when John Allen of
Mississippi made his speech II want to call
attention to one thing" said Allen. every
man in the Fortv-ninth congress who
spoke or voted against expensive funerals
for congressman was reelected to the
Flftieth Congress Down in my district this
subject is party issue. One of my Oldest
constituents came to me, took me by the
hand and said John. I'm powerful glad ye
made that speech agin' big funerals Thet's
jest the kind O talk we like You lest keep
right on and abolish expensive funerals an
ct you die, John. there's lots of your old
neighbors, down here will take hold and
bury you with pleasure" Young Price will
enjoy his seat with pleasure, if there be any
enjoyment in it, for one short month He
certainly cannot complain of his pay He will
receive $500 mileage, 1926 for stationery,
and salary from the day Of his fathers
death amounting to $1,248. Thus he will
get about ssS75 day in cash, to say nothing

A FIsHY STORY.

ST. OUTS, NO.. Feb. Civilian Dill, who,
on the 10th of last January murdered his
wife by cutting her throat, and then at
tempted to commit suicide by cutting his
own, has SO far recovered as to be
able to make a statement of the affair. He
says that on the day before the murder he
and his wife became intoxicated. On awak-
enlng the next morning they were both Ill
and respondent and agreeing that their con-
dition was intoIerable concluded that it was
best for them both to die. They discussed
the various means by which death may be
caused, and finally settled upons cut
ting their threats. The question was
as to who should die first,
was then discussed, and they agreed that the
husband should cut his wife's throat and
then commit suicide by cutting his own.
He says his wife laid down on the floor.
threw her head back and told him
she was ready. He took up the
butcher knife and drew it across
her throat. She died in few minutes. but
he hesitated when it came to carrying out
the last Of the programme. just then
neghbor entered the door, and this
decided him. He placed the knife to his
throat and cut deep cash which
severed the wind-pipe. The wound was not
fatal, and he is now in fair way to recover
from its effects. The coroner doubts the
truth OF this statement, and Dill will be tried
for murder

How Nellie Grant was Won.

When Nellie Grant first went to Eng,
land she was just II, '.the sweetest,
most natural, delightful of American
maidens," remarks Adam Badeau,
who says further: On the return voy-
age the young lady met her fate. Mr..
and Mrs. Borie were both i'll and kept
their state.rooms while Miss Nellie
remained on deck. There she fell in
with a young Englishman, and before
they reached America the mischief had
been done that she was sent to Europe
to avoid. "Nellie Grant" was engaged
and to an Englishman. Sartoris
told me how he asked Gen. Grant for
the young lady's hand With all the
awe of an Englishman for the head of,
q state, he was invited to dinner at
the White House, knowing what was
expected of him. After dinner the
President led the way to the billiard
room and offered him a cigar.
Then" said Sartoris, II knew my
time had come. / waited and hoped
the President would help me, but not
q word did he say. He sat silent,
looking at me. I hesitated, and fidget-
ed, and coughed. and thought should
sink through the floor. Finally / ex-
claimed in desperation: nMr. Presi-
dent, Iwant to marry your daughter"
1t took a bold man to say that to
Gen. Grant, but doubtless the boIdness
recommended him, for Satoris carried
away the prize.

Princess Louise and Her Hus-
band.

.'Mercutio, the London CORES
pondent of the Buffalo Commercial,
thus refers to a subject that is filling
England with suppressed excitement:i
A mysterious paragraph in one OF
the dailies with reference to q divorce
case that, in point OF interest, would
throw all previous investigation into
the shade, was received with a sheer
by the Pail Mall Gazette, probably
because that journal had not had the
good fortune to be first in the field
with the note. Is the rumor purely
IMAGINARY? | hope so. There is q
spirit of lying abroad in political cir
cles, and why not in social? ! hope
SO. The reason for the latter is al
ways. There is no close time for So
ciety canards. They may fly and do
fly, and are brought down at all sea-
sons OF the year. Well, then, the
mysterious note is alleged to have re-
ference to no less distinguished cou-
pie than the Princess Louis and the
marquis OF Lorne. Dear, dear me!
Why, Iwrote an ode on the wedding,
so much was / moved by the circum-
stance of 'aroyal match las it SEEM
ed. And the said ode (which appeared
IN a London magazine not unknown
on your side of the Atlantic) found
favor in the sight ofLorne and Louise,
as had reason to know from gra-
cious note which I received from the
former. That it should come to this!
The rumor is almost without form
and void. Anyhow while one pre-
ternaturally gobemouche will tell
you that it is the princess who is bring
ing the action, another equally we'll
informed will assure you that it is
the marquis who is moving in the
matter. Again I venture to hope
that tits neither. AS might have bean
supposed, the starting OF the scandal
on it's voyage round the world has
recalled the early days of the princess.
Was it a love match? Did not the
queen make haste to get her married
in consequence Of her manifestations
OF attachment to q certain dlgnitary
OF the church? Indeed, not to mince
matters, was it because the princess
had made evident her affection for
the Rev. Canon Duckworth-not
then a canon. surely, but tutor to
Prince Leopold-that she was hur-
ried into matrimony with the eldest
son OF the duke of Argyll? So ran
and SO runs the reports. Those we'll
informed gossips further reminded
me that the marquis of Lorne was
not the first husband beneath royal
rank on whom the queen had fixed
her discerning eye. There was anoth-
er eligible young noble who was
meant for the distinguished honor.
He, however, got wind of her most
gracious majesty's intentions and
fled. He went abroad and remained
away from England until the queens
charming but somewhat troublesome
daughter was securely married. ]
dare say ought to be ashamed Of
myself for reviving the more or less
mild scandals, but what can fellow
do, don't you know, whose ears are
hourly filled with them?
